RECOMMENDATION
Accept a quarterly status report on key workstreams, project highlights and any updates on key workstreams.
OUTCOME
Staff will provide a refresh of the City Infrastructure Strategy, an update on the City Infrastructure Strategy workstreams, the results of the previous Quarter’s commitments (April – June 2024), and committed deliverables for the current Quarter (July – September 2024). The Committee will provide feedback to staff on their update.
BACKGROUND
Following the direction of the Mayor’s March Budget Message unanimously approved by City Council, the City Manager’s Office presented the City Infrastructure Strategy to the Transportation and Environment Committee on June 5, 2023 (and cross-referenced to City Council on September 19, 2023).
The FY 2023-24 City Infrastructure Strategy focused on five objectives: Disaster Ready & Climate Smart, Transportation & Aviation, Clean Energy Resilience, Water Resilience, and Natural Environment Restoration. Sixteen (16) workstreams aligned with these Objectives and represented the most impactful change initiatives underway (see Figure 1 below). This work was in addition to the daily service delivery of Core Services.

2 Over the past fiscal year, the team delivered on many critical projects. A handful of our significant accomplishments this year were:
o Completed construction and moved into the City’s new Emergency Operations Center.
o Drafted the City’s Safe Story Apartment Ordinance and readied for Council review and adoption in September.
o Launched Vehicle Concerns service in the City’s SJ311 app. o Earned Investment-Grade Credit Ratings from Moody’s Ratings and S&P Global (Moody’s issued an A2 rating and S&P Global issued an A rating) for San José Clean Energy (SJCE) thereby matching the highest credit rating of any community choice aggregator.
o Obtained unanimous approval by City Council to amend the San José Municipal Code to form a new municipal electric utility, San José Power, and submit an interconnection agreement to LS Power. Continued to work with staff, developers, and several departments, including the Airport Department, Environmental Serviced Department, Public Works Department, and the City Manager’s Office of Economic Development and Cultural Affairs to submit the interconnection agreement and continue to evaluate providing this service. o Launched Climate Advisory Commission (January 2024), comprised of 11 commissioner seats representing districts, areas of expertise, advocacy, labor/business/education, and youth.
o Launched Electric Homes San José (April 2024) with a reserve of $173,000 in incentives for project measures, including 36 heat pump HVACs, 17 heat pump water heaters, four electric dryers, seven electric cooktops, and six electric vehicle chargers.
o Applied for and received over $23 million in external funding and resources to support Climate Smart San José building electrification, workforce development, transportation, and resiliency initiatives with approximately $3.4 million in grants acquired by the Environmental Services Department directly. o Partnered with Franklin McKinley Children’s Initiative to plant a native hedgerow and native trees, adding green space to a community center in a disadvantaged community utilizing City grant funding through the Zero Emissions Neighborhood Pilot Implementation.
o Completed the City’s Direct Discharge Plan and received California State Water Resources Control Board approval on June 2, 2024.
o Partnered with Valley Water to secure joint funding for a City Purified Water Team.

ANALYSIS
Recap of Quarter 4 (April – June) Key Results
Although we are moving forward with an updated slate of workstreams for FY 24-25, we also want to keep ourselves accountable for the final quarter’s commitments from the previous fiscal year.
As a reminder, each workstream is led by workstream drivers who are empowered to define clear and specific Key Results that align with the delivery of each workstream.
These Key Results should be measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound to a quarterly delivery cycle. Workstream drivers are individuals or teams with the necessary expertise and authority to execute the initiatives and projects related to the objectives.
Each quarter, the workstream drivers and their respective departments develop their committed Key Results for each initiative within the City Infrastructure Strategy. At the end of the quarter, we evaluate each workstream on completing their planned Key Results and assign an overall rating of Green, Yellow, or Red. Green means the workstream is solidly on track with no course corrections required, Yellow means the
TRANSPORTATION & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE

4 workstream is largely on track but requires minor course correction or problem-solving, and Red means the workstream is off track or has experienced a significant shift in work during the last quarter.1 Staff uses these scores as part of execution as learning and use these ratings to identify where teams need additional support or a change in direction to be successful.
The image below illustrates the color-coded Red, Yellow, and Green status across the 16 workstreams. In the fourth Quarter of FY 2023-2024, eight workstreams were Green (50%), eight were Yellow (50%), and zero were Red (0%).2 This past quarter saw a 22% decrease in completed key results compared to the third quarter's results. We attribute this decrease as two-fold. First, leadership and staff had to shift their attention to Budget development during the final quarter. Second, Council/Committee agendas are more impacted at the end of the fiscal year, so any Key results that involved presenting to Council or Committee were impacted and pushed out to August or later.
Figure 2: Key Result Completion Status for City Infrastructure Strategy Workstreams (April - June 2024) 1 Each Key Result is individually scored as Red, Yellow, or Green and then given a score of 0, 1, or 2, respectively.
The Average of the Key Results across a work stream are scored as Red if the average is less than 1, Yellow if the average is 1 or greater, and Green if the average is 1.6 or greater. 2 If we dig down one level deeper to the Key Result level, there were 49 Key Results across the 16 workstreams. Of these 49 Key Results, teams completed 37 (71%), partially completed another 9 (17%), and did not complete 3 (6%).

An Updated City Infrastructure Strategy for FY 2024-25
Now that we are one year into our work on the City Infrastructure Strategy, we are adjusting the strategy to better focus on and take advantage of new opportunities. This refreshed slate of proposed workstreams showcases our continued collaboration between City departments and the development of partnerships with external agencies like Valley Water and PG&E. This updated version also considers Council Direction in the FY 2024-25 Operating and Capital Budget. We will continue to drive delivery using OKRs on this short list of the most important changes to our infrastructure.
The FY 2024-25 set of proposed City Infrastructure Strategy workstreams is shown below in Figure 2.

6 Figure 3: Proposed City Infrastructure Strategy for FY 2024-25 The sections below walk through each Objective and detail the proposed changes for each workstream.
Climate Ready & Climate Smart (formerly known as Disaster Ready & Climate Smart):
• Prepare the City for the Next Disaster (SHIFTED): Staff completed the transformational change efforts of this workstream, and since the remaining tasks are now standard departmental operations, they no longer require the heightened focus of being part of the City Infrastructure Strategy. • Seismically Safe “Soft Story” Apartments (SHIFTED): The workstream will shift and continue under the Community and Economic Development City Service Area to better align staff resources and departmental purview. • Shoreline Levee (Sea Level Rise) (RETAINED): The City’s partnership with Valley Water on the Shoreline Levee project remains a critical priority for the City.
• Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan (ADDED): This workstream has been added to the City Infrastructure Strategy to ensure the Plan’s development receives focused attention, transparency, and accountability. • Climate Smart Decarbonization & Mitigation (RETAINED): The Climate Smart program continues to be a central part of the City’s progress toward our 2030 decarbonization goals.
TRANSPORTATION & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE
August 19, 2024
Subject: City Infrastructure Strategy Quarterly Status Report.
7 Modern & Sustainable Mobility (formerly known as Transportation & Aviation):
• SJC Airport New Terminal (REVISED): Staff split this workstream into two new workstreams to better delineate the work and provide more clarity on discreet projects. The two new workstreams are:
o (1) Airport Asset Preservation Plan (ADDED)
o (2) Airport Expansion Enabling Projects (ADDED)
• BART Silicon Valley Extension(RETAINED): The City’s partnership with VTA on the Silicon Valley BART extension continues to be a priority for the City’s Infrastructure Strategy.
• Vehicle Blight (SHIFTED): The workstream will shift and continue under the Public Safety, Fire, and Strategic Support City Service Area to better align staff resources and departmental purview.
• Diridon Station and Airport Connector (REVISED): Staff split this workstream into two new workstreams to better delineate the work and provide more clarity on discreet projects. The two new workstreams are:
o (1) Diridon Station Modernization (ADDED)
o (2) Airport Diridon Connector (ADDED)
Clean Energy Resilience:
• Municipal Microgrids and Electrical Service (EDITED): Staff updated this workstream to better align with Council Direction and the City’s exploration of a Municipal Electric Utility. The new workstream is:
o Municipal Electric Utility Service (ADDED)
• Electric Vehicle Fleet/Charging Infrastructure (RETAINED): The City continues to move toward a more electrified fleet and plans to improve the electrical infrastructure required to make this happen. • Citywide Building Electrification (RETAINED): The conversion from natural gas to fully electrified buildings continues to be a central part of the City’s progress toward our 2030 decarbonization goals.
• Attracting Skilled Technical Workforce (ADDED): This workstream has been added to ensure the Energy Department receives focused attention, transparency, and accountability for its organization development study and classification/compensation analysis, which are currently underway. • Partnering with PG&E (ADDED): Staff added this workstream to highlight the City's partnership with PG&E on energy resilience, streamlining coordination, and the move toward electrification of buildings and vehicles.
Water Resilience:
• Municipal Regional Permit (Stormwater) (REVISED): This workstream continues and is being shifted to the “Natural Environment Restoration” Objective under a new workstream name:
o Ensure Clean Creeks & Rivers (ADDED)
TRANSPORTATION & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE
August 19, 2024
Subject: City Infrastructure Strategy Quarterly Status Report.
8 • Sanitary & Storm Sewer Collection Systems + Green Stormwater Infrastructure (PAUSED): The transformation efforts in this workstream are being paused due to the position being cut from this year’s budget and a deprioritized focus on the efforts related to this workstream. The underlying work to oversee and manage the City’s Sewer Collection System will continue and is reflected in the ESD, PW, and DOT departmental workplans. • Regional Wastewater Facility (RWF) (ADDED): This workstream has been added to ensure focused attention, transparency, and accountability due to the massive rebuild underway at the Facility and the need for tighter coordination.
• Water Supply (EDITED): This workstream continues with a new name that better accounts for the specific focus of the team and the City’s priorities:
o Diverse Water Supply/ Direct Potable Reuse (ADDED)
• RWF Land Use/Construction Coordination (ADDED): This workstream has been added to ensure focused attention, transparency, and accountability for the significant capital construction and investment in the land area surrounding the Regional Wastewater Facility.
Natural Environment Restoration:
• Ensure Clean Creeks & Rivers (ADDED): This workstream is the newly named workstream that was previously “Municipal Regional Permit (Stormwater)”
• Community Forest (Urban Tree Canopy) (RETAINED): The City continues prioritizing investments in expanding our urban tree canopy. • Protect Coyote Valley Open Space (RETAINED): The City’s partnership with the Open Space Authority and our work on protecting Coyote Valley remain priorities for the City’s Infrastructure Strategy.
CONCLUSION
Staff continues to make progress on the 19 Workstreams in the City Infrastructure Strategy and pending available resources. Staff will return to the Transportation & Environment Committee in October 2024 to provide an update on our Q1 Key Results.
